Moneybox Lyrics

Instead of going out to dinner tonight, we can grow vegetables underneath our skylight
Clicking these downloads every day has its price
We can lounge on our couch and listen to our 45s

So take your dollar, your yen, those euros I can't spend
I won't get down with no pounds, never need to leave this house

Don't need a moneybox, 'cause I got lots and lots
Of what I need right here, right here with you my dear
Don't need your cash machine, to make our days happy
So do me a favour, don't jingle your change cells

Instead of going to the movies tonight, there's no shame in us playing best of that Sega Mega Drive
Hand me your trousers, you got holes in your knees
It's no fuss, patch them up, forget about that shopping spree

So take your dollar, your francs, your rupees, no thanks
I won't get down with no pounds, never need to leave this house

Don't need a moneybox, 'cause I got lots and lots
Of what I need right here, right here with you my dear
Don't need your cash machine, to make our days happy
So do me a favour, don't jingle your change cells

Look at your moneybox, it's not much of a loss
All that dough just goes to waste, 'cause you're worth much more anyway

Don't need to travel 'round London tonight
We can play Monopoly, buy Mayfair in our own time

So take your dollar, your baht, I couldn't give a penny
That's enough, leave it out, never need to leave this house

Don't need a moneybox, 'cause I got lots and lots
Oh, what I need right here, right here, right here with you
I know, I know don't need your cash machine, to make our days happy
So do me a favour, don't jingle your change cells

Don't need a moneybox, 'cause I got lots and lots
Oh, what I need right here, right here with you
I know, I know I don't need your cash machine, to make our days happy
So do me a favour, don't jingle your change cells
Do me a favour, don't jingle your change cells
Lovey, lovey, lovey-love

Really good song. Very uplifting, I think she's such a good singer and her music is so nice and FRESH

"Don't jingle your change cells" should be "Don't jingle your change sir" as in don't try and tempt me with your money because there are more important things in life.

Awesome song, especially the Jamie XX remix. Anyway I think TedB's got the right idea, specifically I think it's about being a moneyless freegan. How choosing not be sell themselves via wage earning "'cause you're worth much more anyway", and in doing so choosing to be 'poor', they're acctually having more fun doing what they want to do with their time; "don't need your cash machine, to make our days happy".
